After breakfast, we are picked up from your hotel and set off towards Elazig. Then we start our Harput tour known as Old Elazig. For the first time in Harput Castle, BC It is estimated that it was built in 2000. In the following periods, settlement started on the skirts of the castle, and then the surrounding city was surrounded by walls. However, due to the fact that its historical city, which has a bright historical past, is not suitable for settlement and the difficulty of nature conditions, it was established in its current location by Reşid Mehmet Pasha in 1834. The history of Elazig is new, but the history of the region is quite old. The historical Harput campus, which looks like an almost abandoned city today, welcomes us with its silence and historical texture that takes us to the past. The Great Mosque, which was built between 1156 and 1157 by the Harputlu ruler Fahrettin Karaaslan, is one of the oldest Turkish mosques in Anatolia. The rectangular mosque, whose walls are made of rubble dome arches and minaret bricks, has two doors and its minaret remains curved even today. During our visit to Elazig Archeology and Ethnography Museum, it contains the works recovered during the rescue works during the construction of Keban and Karakaya dams. After our museum visit, we move towards Malatya. We settle in our hotel in Malatya. Overnight in Malatya.
